Re: [emacs] using ledger-mode for beancount

[Steve Harmer]

I use it the same way you do (org-mode major + bean count minor).   As long 
as the same/similar folding of headlines is available then I wouldn't mind 
(not that I matter, just giving you a data point.)  For me, org-mode + 
beancount works perfectly.

Thanks for the awesome tool.

Re: How to install beancount for use in emacs?

[Steve Harmer]

Thanks for your help.  When I add that to my config file (.spacemacs) I get the 
error that ‘beancount’ file/folder cannot be found. 

I’m out of town at the moment with no internet (except on my phone) so I can’t 
scroll through your config file at the moment. I will have a look on Sunday 
when I’m back. I have a feeling I’m missing something fundamental...  I’m no 
expert with Emacs. 

And lest I forget to mention it, thanks for this great program. It’s amazing.

How to install beancount for use in emacs?

[Steve Harmer]

The title says it all. I apologize for asking such a fundamental question, 
but I've spent days (literally) trying to figure it out.  I've done what 
the documentation suggested, but that doesn't work.   If I open a 
.beancount file, I don't get the minor mode, and if I force the mode using 
" -*- mode:beancount -*-" it doesn't work either.

For background, I installed beancount using pip.  Everything with beancount 
works fine.  My emacs is actually spacemacs, so perhaps that is  the issue?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as I am really liking 
beancount (and fava), but would really like better autocompletion when 
entering transactions.

Thanks in advance.
Steve
